Chapter 40: Desperate

"Bing Niangniang, except for the master of Baixi Palace, who is sick, several other Niangniang have arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After sending off the bell, Nanyue held a tea banquet in the Jiaofang Palace.

Bai Tingying didn't arrive, and the other three arrived as promised. Ning Xin'er's face was full of reluctance.

Nanyue stilted high and sat sideways on the phoenix couch. Repeatedly playing with an ice-cracked porcelain small-eared pot in his hand, his eyes wandering on the body of the pot, waiting for the concubines' reply without impatience.

"How about a few sisters, have you thought about it? I don't know anything about these housework things, and it all depends on you. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the pot and squinted his eyes towards the black ampulla.

A sour mockery sounded in his ears: "Yo, the queen mother is not very capable in the previous dynasty, why can't this harem thing be done." Now the concubine finally understands what it means to be a chicken Si Chen, and the mother is really a mother in the world. ”

Ning Xin'er's thin flat lips that had been coated with too much lipstick were about to reach the sky, and she smiled and covered her mouth with a gold silk handkerchief.

"The internal affairs of the harem said that the queen was in charge, and the concubines were in charge, which was in front of the queen mother, and I don't know who the credit was. ”

The smile mixed with too many things distorted her facial expression a little, and a thousand strange things bloomed on her face that was not ugly.

"I don't know how to do those things, I used to come to the house to watch my mother and her mother do it. What's more, the palace banquet is so big, I'm afraid...... I'll do you a favor. ”

Shui Yingcheng waved her hand, she could see that her face was full of apologies, her face was pink, and a few strands of thin velvet hair on her forehead carried the coquettishness of everyone's ladies.

"The concubine is willing to preside. ”

Everyone raised their heads, it was still a pale moon-white plain skirt familiar that day, simple hairpins, and the voice was shallow but recognizable.

is precisely the quiet concubine who is never eye-catching-Lin Yilan.

Na Yilan lowered her eyebrows, her voice was shallow and soft, but her tone was disrespectful and humble: "There is the queen's sister and several sisters here, and the harem affairs, it is not the turn of the concubines to worry about it." But Yilan has always stayed at her uncle's and aunt's house, and she was never born with a delicate daughter, and I am familiar with these courtesies. ”

With a faint smile on her face, she met Nanyue's gaze: "If the queen is relieved, Yilan is willing to share her sister's worries." ”

Ning Xin'er snorted: "It's just because of my cheap uncle that I was able to achieve the position of a "concubine", and the lowliness brought by this bone really can't be changed, and I can do all kinds of rough work." A sparrow is a sparrow, and it will never fly up to a branch to be a phoenix. ”

Then he rolled his eyes, and said to Nanyue in a strange manner: "Queen Mother, what about Sister Yilan's low eyebrows to please you? It's better to choose a few nice clothes. ”

He dragged a long sigh in a soft voice: "Apricot!"

"Hey, Niangniang, let's go back to the palace. The girl who was called Xing'er stretched out her hand to help Ning Xin'er vividly, and the two staggered back to the Flower Shadow Palace.

Lin Yilan always watched quietly, with a gentle face, and after Ning Xin'er left, she bowed and said to Nanyue: "Then the concubine will go back to prepare." ”

"Hey, thank you. Nanyue said to Na Lan rudely but very sincerely.

The woman only turned her head and smiled slowly, plain and elegant.

Shui Yingcheng, who had been fine, didn't leave for a long time, hesitantly pinching the corners of her clothes, with an unnatural expression on her face, and she wanted to say something but she predicted and stopped.

"I, I want to ask you something. ”

Say. Nanyue looked at her and only hoped that she would finish quickly.

"This palace banquet, are all the families of important ministers going to be there?"

"It should be," Nanyue replied casually, "This palace banquet is very important in terms of national rites." ”

"Then your Nan family, all your brothers and sisters, will also come?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Nanyue looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"No, me, I'm just asking. Shui Yingcheng's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly saluted and left the Jiaofang Palace.

Nanyue looked at Shui Yingcheng's back as she hurriedly ran away, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

Why did Shui Yingcheng ask like this? Why did she care so much about this palace banquet? Why did she care about whether the Nan family would attend? Her attitude and her expression were as unbelievable as the question she asked.

However, Nanyue didn't have time to think about it.

Now, she has more important things to do.

The girls of the Jiaofang Palace have always stayed in the Jiaofang Palace, and she will never take them back to the Shengxuan Palace.

A person walked on the road from Jiaofang Hall to Shengxuan Palace. The wind blew tightly, and I didn't know whether it was cold or warm.

Walking alone at night is something that Nanyue has long been accustomed to.

She is not afraid of the dark, I don't know if she is not afraid because she is used to it, or if she is not afraid by nature.

Moreover, the night has a greatest mercy, which contains all.

Everything that is rejected by the light, it accepts. At this point, the light that has been praised by thousands of people seems a little stingy.

She is not afraid of ghosts and gods.

Ghosts and gods are just an ideology, she has never harmed ghosts and gods, so why should she be afraid of ghosts and gods.

Nanyue has never been a fragile person, a person's road, she has walked since she was a child, and has walked for more than ten years.

Most of the time, only the lonely moon above her head looks at her lonely.

Never afraid, just occasionally, just occasionally, hoping to have someone with me.

And tonight, it is destined to be a one-man battle.

Chuanling is not there, not even Wan Yanmin and Yufeng.

Xiao Min Min ......

What do you want him to do, that person is so powerful, how can it be Xiao Minmin. Nanyue laughed a little, and then found that she was laughing without realizing it, so she laughed again.

The first smile is heartfelt, and the second is self-deprecating.

stepped on the darkness and arrived at Shengxuan Palace. There are only Wan Yanmin's personal guards in the courtyard, and they are all dressed up in the same appearance as Yu Feng.

groped his way into the familiar side hall.

Suddenly I was hugged by a person.

Chuanling cried profusely.

"Miss, I can see you, I finally see you. ”

This silly girl.

The bitterness in her heart can never be relieved by the bell. But she will never get in the way, she will always be the person closest to her, and she will always be the best person for her.

Sometimes the person you trust the most, the person who can give you the most security, is not necessarily the person who understands you the most.

In fact, it's often not, especially for people who are too smart.

The wise are the orphans of the world.

Precocious wisdom and talent may give an individual the privilege of being conceited and superior in his early life, but the suffering and calamity that this talent brings with its growth may have long exceeded the sense of superiority it offered at an age when it was ignorant of the world.

The final use of talent is to enable the person concerned to rely on his remaining wisdom to please the love of those kind people with average qualifications after losing everything.

The night was quiet, and Nanyue had mixed feelings.

"Why are you back, Yufeng?"

Chuan Ling let go of her, and the tears stopped.

"We arrived in Yancheng, and Yu Feng he, with the unique code between him and the emperor, found the emperor step by step. ”

Yufeng sent me to the Tongzhi adult's house in Yancheng, and it was the adult who sent a carriage to send me back.

There were bean-sized teardrops on his eyelashes, and the tear stains that had broken on his face had not yet dried.

Nan Yue's big eyes looked at such a bell without blinking, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

"By the way, miss, the emperor has something for you. ”

Stopping Nanyue's hand to wipe her tears, she put it down for her, and then took out a talisman from her cuff that shone with gray and white light.

"Miss, the emperor asked me to give this to you. He said that with this talisman, he could summon the Ghost Shadow Thirty-six Horsemen. ”

The emperor said...... Say ......"

The tears that had just stopped, couldn't help but let go again.

"If there is a change in the palace, let me use this to summon ghosts. Right?"

I could only nod my head incessantly, and I couldn't stop crying.

"Chuanling, are you sleepy?"

Shaking his head violently, "Not sleepy, miss." ”

Nanyue has never been a young lady in the true sense of the word.

You can rely on the excessive love given by the world and squander it wantonly.

She is the one who even her own maid has to protect hard.

On the night Xi Niang left, she also hugged Chuanling, who was one year older than her, like this.

With big eyes, she asked the tearful little maid: "Chuanling, are you afraid?"

Her answer was the same, her head shook like a rattle: "Don't be afraid, I want to protect Miss." ”

Nanyue came back to her senses, and this familiar feeling reassured her.

"If you're not sleepy, then accompany me to do something. ”

Nanyue smiled shallowly and melted the moonlight into the pear nest.

"Go to the main hall and fetch something for me. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

I didn't speak, I changed into men's clothes, and I brought several things with me.

A short sword, a body of bottles and cans, and a handful of potato seeds.

Also, a veil was tied around his face.

The one that used to be in Nanfu was often systematic.

On the eve of her wedding, she made a decision for herself.

In the future, many people will say that they are ugly, and they will not wear a veil.

I didn't tie it tonight to cover up my ugliness.
